  1. That is really funny. LOL. It is not lost now! I thought he was someone from somewhere as I typically receive (real emails) written almost like he wrote his messages. This guy is really funny. I like him.

  2. There are typos. Here is one: UNvention instead of Invention in "Therefore I am displeased to UNtroduce my latest unvention"

  3. Unvention wasn't a typo.

  4. A friend of mine is visiting with me, and responded on mybehalf to have fun/etc... He thinks trading is easy, and I challenged him to try. Hopefully the market will have a newbie/student.

    Joe's posts are great (funny and true)!

  5. Mr Doaks, it is good to see that your new Undi(e)cator bears a remarkable resemblance to VWAP - purely coincidental of course. And lest we forget, the wider the crayon the better the trade. I am sure even Monsieur Plecostomus would approve.

  6. NMA looks like a really slow moving average....am I missing something ?

  8. If you want a moving average that doesn't move, just use a freaking KAMA (Kaufman adaptative moving average)

    It goes flat at the slightest hint of slowdown

  9. A brilliant observation, Equalizer. I myself deconstructed NMA and was severely disappointed to find that it is merely VWAP without the volume, a Price-Weighted Average Price, or PWAP, as it were. And you are right, it needs to be drawn with a blunter crayon to be an effective undicator.
